Changed my fuel filter today. I change it between 25000-30000. Let the car sit overnight and there was no pressure on the lines. Approximately 6 oz of fuel streamed from the hoses and the filter. I just used a pan to catch it and waited for it to drain before removing the filter all the way out. Here are a couple of pics I took. The first one is before doing anything and the second is with the hosed detached and filter removed. The clips come out easy, just use a screw driver to go under the duckbill. While prying up with the screwdriver, push the bottom of clips open with your other hand. Installation back is a breeze, just remember what the orientation of the clips were and you won't have to guess which hole what goes in

Very easy protection and performance keeper for less than $8 with tax.

it's not really on any side of the car. you have to climb under the rear of your car, and you'll see it right in front of the gas tank. there are 2 white clips that you must pull off of each end before you can get the fuel lines to disconnect. you can usually pull them by hand, sometimes you'll need the assistance of a flathead screw driver. you'll also need to loosen the strap that holds the filter to the car, just a regular hose clamp style clamp though.

You know what! The fuse actually blew again, it blew when I was putting the MFC back in place, so it seems there may be some wires back there touching, I got lazy and decided to get my tune up done first.. lol
